I’m pretty sure that what Dalinar is referencing when he thinks that he’s experiencing this before “but from the other side” is how the last time they fought on the tower it was Sadeas who was surrounded and overwhelmed by Parshendi and Dalinar had to go in and save him. I think it is supposed to hammer in just how devastating and cruel Sadeas’s betrayal is since he put Dalinar in the exact position that he had saved him from. Dalinar saved Sadeas because he had honor whereas Sadeas betrayed Dalinar to the fate he was saved from because he had none.

This! I was just about to write this.

Once we get to Whimsy's planet, I assume we won't be able to "science" that magic.

Oh this will be Brandon’s take on the fae for sure

I love yumi so far! I'm a painter, blues and purples are what a paint with the most, so I vibe with it so hard.

That's awesome!

58:06 I wanna add to this and hammer home just how important Dalinar's action was to Kaladin in particular. remember, Amaram coveted the Shards, he valued them more than than the respect, loyalty, trust, and even *_life_* of his subordinates. he betrayed Kaladin's squad, slaughtering the remainder who'd survived the battle, and branding and enslaving Kaladin himself, so that he could have that Blade and Plate for himself. Dalinar, in stark contrast, with no compulsion or reluctance, willingly relinquished his Blade in order to rescue Kaladin and a *_thousand_* bridgemen from slavery, despair, and fatal labor, and would likely do so again without any hesitation. in Kaladin's eyes, this is the single *_greatest_* act of Honor any individual could have performed for him. in an instant, Dalinar basically earned himself an ocean's worth of Kaladin [affection+] points.

Thank you for the Nale Easter egg. I’m so glad Jimmy asks “Why?” on things that are so easily overlooked. I love how Sanderson slips significant things in so casually that most of us miss them, especially the first time around. I agree with Christian, that these books can be read and enjoyed easily on a surface level and I love that they are so deep in connections if a person wants to take the time to ask, “Why?”.

As a scientist, the navani chapters in RoW were my favourites, but at the same time I'm also wary of the technification of a magic system, which is atractive normally because it is something unquantifiable and foreign to our brains. I hope Sanderson manages to keep a balance between the specifics and the abstract.

I have a book club with some friends, two are new and two of us have read the books. We are half way through Oathbringer. Around the end of Way of Kings I made a CREMLING WATCH segment of our book club becasue of this podcast. Even though none of us eally knows why they are critical exactly, it is one of the more fun parts of our conversations! Its the part we all laugh the most together with out a doublt. I would take time to watch a crelming live event for sure!

I am so jealous! 😮 I would love to have people to talk about Stormlight with.

Do the Cremling thing live. I'm totally up for it

Can't wait for every new episode! You guys are great!

I'm also curious, Jimmy, what kind of software development? I'm studying web development.

"Unite them" I believe Brandon is double speaking with this line, the small and the big, unite the lands and unite the shards. Sazed has already shown its possible and he is the hero ages, as in more than the mistborn age

Sadeas saved by Dalinar on the tower.

Gimme that detailed cremling analysis!

30:50 Eshonai wanted to meet up with Dalinar so that she could negotiate a peace treaty. The war was taking its toll on the listener population (and also the chasmfiends) by then.

For me Yumi is my favourite Brando book, wonderful mix of Your Name and FFX

I want to see a video of the rap battle between dalinar and sadeas . It would be epic and awesom along the lines of those starwars rap video animations.

WFH today, so no Spotify time on my morning commute. Getting my LiR fix via KZread for the first time!

Raboniel was my favorite singer and RoW my favorite book ❤️

Oh I think the past is going to be completely rewritten. Everything that they thought what is right in the past will be found to be wrong.

Henry Cavill i've seen a lot of people mention for Lord Ruler fan cast. I like him for Vasher myself....and Xavier Bardem is my head cannon for Kelsier, not sure why as i base it off his Bond character haha.

Kal coin is nice Cremling coin is good But Kaladinero is where the money is! Jk, love the podcast!

Justice for the strap!! ✊😭✊

I’m thinking Yumi might be Rock’s Mom. He had to learn to cook somewhere.😅

We all know what the most important part of Yumi was (spoilers obv) One of the characters was a Dysian Aimian, as in a CREMLING HIVEMIND.

With Dalinar feeling like the scene was familiar, I feel like he was remembering saving Sadeas. (Sorry, I can’t spell these names!)

I think you actually nailed it I usually listen to audio, but I've read a time or two, and that looks right to me

The sunlit man was by far my favourite secret project, I liked the other 3, but I wasn't anywhere near as invested in the characters or story as many of Brandon's other books.

Where did you folks get pronunciation of Malazan as 'Mlaazan'? I've always read it as Ma-la-zan

I pronounced it as you did but a few years ago I heard hardcore fans pronouncing it the way I do now so I've kinda adopted it. I have a vague memory of Steven Erikson saying he didn't mind how people pronounced it so we're both in the clear!

Henry Cavill could play Syl if he wanted and it would work

did you drop one piece? :(

I didn’t really dig all the science explanations in RoW. Really that book is my least favorite. But also did have some great moments in it

Funny, those were my favourite scenes. 😅

I'm sorry but Henry cavil in 5 years is dalinar

Aren't the Rosharian race completely different to IRL races? So any adaptation isn't beholden to such restrictive casting?
